I replied directly to your comment, the context is right there for anyone to see.

If masks only protected the wearer, I wouldn't care if vaccinated people wore them. But we know that with the delta variant, and the effects of the vaccine wearing down over time, vaccinated people are going to be an increasing part of keeping the virus spreading through the population.

People who can't get vaccines are still in as much danger if they catch covid as they were before the vaccine. If vaccinated people stop caring about them because they personally are protected from consequences that makes them assholes.

1 Those people had the same problem before covid. Covid is not the only airborne disease in the world. Did you wear a mask for them then? Oh? why not, you horrible murderer?

You are pushing for acceptance of vulnerable people dying preventable deaths, because vulnerable people have died preventable deaths in the past. I have a problem with that. I keep rereading your comments for more 'context', but nothing changes the apparent message here. If you think that's wrong, maybe rethink what you wrote.

I'm done with this conversation. I've already said everything I'm choosing to say.

Did you used to wear a mask before covid because of the cold or flu?

You keep using this boomer line about covid being just like the flu. The flu kills an average of ~36,000 people in the US per year. In the last year, covid has killed ~460,000 people in the US. That's with ongoing vaccine rollout for the majority of that period. Yeah, people change their fucking behaviors when we go from dealing with the flu, to what is effectively more than a dozen simultaneous flu seasons.

You're pointing to the fact that people weren't careful around medically vulnerable people before to justify that when they are now facing a far more dire situation we shouldn't care if they die.

If that’s too hard a habit to kick, pick something else.

And they can’t even commit to doing next-to-nothing.

Balmis’s technique was to infect two children every 10 days with the bovine version of smallpox and then take the serum from their pustules to infect two more children, and so on until they arrived at their destination with fresh serum with which to vaccinate people.

The children got sick but didn’t die and, although it seems barbaric, at the time it was considered quite normal.

Jesus christ, they're painting him as a heroic frontline healthcare worker.

The strategy adopted by Balmis was a cheap, ingenious and pioneering solution

It’s likely that nowadays the strategy of using children to transport the vaccine would be criticised on ethical grounds, but the impact and benefits of the expedition cannot be denied.

Manuel Álvarez, who curated the exhibition, described it as “a homage to all the health workers who have struggled against Covid-19”

So biden gets asked a disingenuous question about defunding the police, and his response is "Look, it's not just my party that has wackos with insane ideas, your party has them too!"

Thanks, and for

Light particles like helium can escape from the edge of the atmosphere. CO2 is ~11 times heavier, so you have to pump it well above the atmosphere for its orbit to have a chance of carrying it away, or else it will just fall right back down. It's probably not that difficult to maintain the pressure on the ground to keep it flowing, but the problem is you now need 1000's of km of a rigid pressure vessel, instead of a thin film or something.

"And that's the moment I truly realized that humanity... shouldn't change anything fundamental. We just need to move some stuff around, and then we can keep doing what we're doing forever."

When I saw how far my billions could get me from the poors, I thought 'Why don't we do that with the means of production?'

If we can lift off a billionaire, we can lift off Earth's industrial infrastructure

I started working on it after the first post, so I'm a few more lessons in.

AOC did not, in fact, type with alternating upper and lower case letters. It's very dishonest that your direct quote implies that she did.
